In case you missed it, Express photographer Dexter Philip was invited into the Lady Chancellor Hill, Port of Spain home of cricket legend Brian Lara, who displayed the bats that he used to achieve his many batting records. In his hand is the bat he used to strike an unbeaten 501 in 1994 in England, which remains the most runs ever made in a first class match. Also in his trophy case are the bats he used to make his 375 in 1994, and his 400 against England in 2004, a record that is still to be broken.

Shoppers gather around a vegetable stall on Christmas Eve at Charlotte Street, Port of Spain to purchase vegetables to add spice and flavour to their Christmas meals. Traditionally a day with very little to report, Photographer Jermaine Cruickshank, managed to
turn a regular vending scene into a stunning image that frames the buyers and seller, and the colourful produce.

Artist Darren Cheewah gets off the stage at WASA Fete 2013, under a cloud of rain drops and powder. The feters came to hear and see entertertainer, SuperBlue, and his catch phrase “water and powder” was been chanted at every intermission. Photo Editor Robert Taylor said he wanted to capture that emotion in a different way, so when Cheewah climbed the stage during a drizzle, the opportunity arose.
"I positioned myself to get some backlight to highlight the powder that was being sprayed, and under-exposed the camera settings and switched to black & white to isolate the subject", said Taylor.

If you look out to sea while traveling along the Lady Hailes Avenue, San Fernando, you will see, approximately 1.5 kilometres out, what appears to be an islet. A closer look reveals it to be the remains of what was once a house built on the outcrop. It has long been abandoned but it was once the weekend getaway for several affluent families in San Fernando, who boated out to the house. The location is considered a prime fishing spot for the adventurous who can get there by pay a fee to a fisherman who will take you there by boat.

You seldom see scenes like this in Trinidad anymore. However, photojournalist Innis Francis came upon Roopmin Jagdeo outside her home at Gopie Trace Penal, milking the family cow. The fresh milk was for breakfast, she said. She named her cow Susie.

Express photographer DEXTER PHILIP spotted these cattle in a coconut plantation off Colombia Road which leads to Icacos Village, on the tip of Trinidad's south west Cedros peninsular.

Express Photographer DEXTER PHILIP captured this image at the Caroni Bird Sanctuary shortly before sunset, as a flock of scarlet ibis returned from foraging in the surrounding swamp, to roost for the night in the mangrove. The Caroni swamp is one of several wetland habitats in Trinidad where the scarlet ibis can be found, but the only area where eco-tourists can be taken by flat bottom boat for a close up view.
